This Construction Safety and Environmental Manual (CSEM) provides guidelines for
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) construction, maintenance,
and rehabilitation projects on which the contractor(s) provides all insurance coverage
required under the contract. This CSEM is an essential contract document. This CSEM
establishes WMATA specific procedures for certain activities and establishes safety
responsibilities for WMATA and contractor personnel involved in construction and
rehabilitation projects.
The prevention of accidents, injury, illness and environmental incidents in the course of
completing, maintaining, and rehabilitating Metrorail and Metrobus Systems and
facilities is of primary importance to everyone associated with WMATA. Accidents,
injuries and illness cause suffering and hardship to those immediately involved and
result in job delays and additional expense to the contractors and WMATA.
Environmental incidents can cause damage to the environment and endanger public
health.
The prevention of accidents and incidents is the direct result of a carefully planned
safety and environmental management program, effectively implemented by the
contractors management and supervision.

Purpose
This Construction Safety and Environmental Manual (CSEM) is established
under Section 18.3 of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
(WMATA) System Safety Program Plan (SSPP), dated January 2012. This
CSEM provides guidelines for WMATA construction and rehabilitation projects on
which the contractor(s) provides all insurance coverage required under the
contract and it is an essential contract document. This CSEM establishes
WMATA specific procedures for certain activities and it establishes safety
responsibilities for WMATA and contractor personnel involved in construction,
maintenance and rehabilitation projects. It is intended to assist contractors in
complying with the safety and environmental requirements of WMATA contracts.

Chloroform (trichloromethane)
Trichloroethylene
Tetrachloroethylene
Reproductive Toxicants
Glycol ethers including 2-Butoxyethanol (butyl cellosolve, CAS# 111-76-2), 2Methoxyethanol (EGME, CAS# 109-86-4), 2-Methoxyethyl acetate (EGMEA, CAS#
110-49-6), 2-(2-Methoxyethoxy) ethanol (CAS# 111-77-3), Ethylene glycol dinitrate
(EGDN, CAS# 628-96-6), 2-Ethoxyethanol (EGEE, CAS# 110-80-5), and 2Ethoxyethyl acetate (EGEEA, CAS# 110-15-9).
Teratogens
Corrosives
Products used at a dilution rate with a corresponding pH that is greater than 11.5
(alkaline) or less than 3.5 (acidic). Concentrated chemicals will be considered only if
a tamper-proof metering system (dilution or proportioning) is provided. Alkaline soap
used in the automatic bus wash systems cannot exceed a pH of 10 at the discharge.
A variance is allowed for acids in vehicle and equipment batteries.

Products used outside with a pH greater than 8.5 or less than 6. This is in order to
comply with storm water discharge requirements.
Products used indoors (i.e., vehicle washing operations) with a pH greater than 10 or
less than 6. This is in order to comply with sanitary sewer discharge requirements.
POTWs accept waste water within pH range of 6 to 10. Waste water discharges
must be neutralized to this range.
Hydrofluoric Acid
Flammables
Flammable solids
Flammable liquids with a flash point less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Variances
may be possible for paints and adhesives used under controlled conditions (i.e.
properly ventilated spray paint booth). Fuels, such as gasoline, are approved for use
as fuel for vehicles, generators, and other powered equipment, except in the
Metrorail stations and underground segments of the rail system. Diesel-powered
equipment shall be used in these locations.
Sensitizers
Highly toxic chemicals with a median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) in air of 200 parts
per million (ppm) by volume or less of gas or vapor, 2 milligrams per liter (mg/L) or
less of mist, fume, or dust or 2,000 milligrams per cubic meter or air (mg/m3) or less
of mist, fume, or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for one hour to
albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each.
Toxic chemicals with a median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) in air of more than 200
ppm, but not more than 2,000 ppm by volume of gas or vapor, more than 2 mg/L but
not more than 20 mg/L of mist, fume, or dust, or more than 2,000 mg/m3, but not
more than 20,000 mg/m3 of mist, fume, or dust, when administered by continuous
inhalation for one hour (or less if death occurs) to albino rats weighing between 200
and 300 grams each.
Arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and compounds lead solder
is allowed for uses other than plumbing, because there is not presently a suitable
substitute for lead in solder for these applications.

Existing systems that require certain refrigerants will be exempted, but new systems
that require refrigerants will be required to comply with environmental regulations.
Non ozone-depleting substances are preferred for use at WMATA. (List from 40
CFR Part 82)
Phosphates
Cleaning agents that contain phosphorous may not be purchased or used in the
WMATA system with the following exceptions:
1. Detergents used for metal cleaning or conditioning, surface cleaning, or
appliance cleaning.
2. Phosphoric acid cleaning products including sanitizers, brighteners, acid
cleaners, or metal cleaners.
3. Dishwashing detergents with 8.8 percent or less phosphorous by weight.
